Pros

When I started the company culture was one that was competitive, but everyone wanted everyone else to succeed. It was a culture that helped each other and wanted everyone to win. In training class it was sold as the heart (helping) is more important than the dollar and they truly meant it. Another positive was the ability to pick a schedule that was flexible (i.e. days and the time of day).

Cons

After they started expanding so rapidly the culture changed. It became a place where the new people didn't care about anyone but themselves and a lot of stealing of leads would happen. There was a new manager that came in and he wasn't all about the heart over the dollar. The dollar was the bottom line. They sell you on the idea of making so much money and use unrealistic examples. They sight people who are making 6 figures but don't tell you those people are working on their days off and not on the clock. They are putting in 50-60 hours per week.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
